But do we really need a smartphone to boast such a high resolution display? Many would argue no, as higher resolution display panels demand significantly more juice from batteries.

The rise of low-cost VR could create a push for higher resolution screens however, as the smartphone-based tech requires handsets to be placed mere centimetres from your retinas, making every pixel count.

It’s worth noting that Verizon often demands handset modifications from manufacturers to sell on its service, to differentiate its devices from other network providers.

This could very well be an example of that, especially as a previous leak suggested that the AT&T LG G4 would come with a slightly lower 1440 x 2560 screen resolution.
